Yes, but i choose freebsd, because i don't want to somebody else maintain
my PC for me ;-) But question was about general UNIX ideology and current
state of FreeBSD hier(7). qmail install itself into /var/qmail (but var is
not for this), /var/tmp is also not so good idea, imho. etc. etc. etc. i
think that current directory structure is not clear. and what you say,
all, if i will try to suggest another one. Or where it may b suggested for
better results and lesser annoying factor.
Thx,
Alexander
